GOOD THINGS IN MARKET
THE record-breaking rain of the
past month, while a benefit to some
products. ha6 been hard on the cherry
crop. It is scarcely probable that the
markets will this season show the over
flowing displays that they generally
do about this time and a little later.
The rather modest supplies of Bings
are offered at 10 cents a pound, Royal
Anns at 15 cents.
Peaches, of which California promises
a good crop, are on hand, at 30 cents
a dozen. German and peach plums, at
60 cents a basket, are equally good, to
sight and taste. New this week are
black figs, at 25 cents a dozen, and
pineapples, 25 cents each.
Of small fruits, some strawberries
were showing at two boxes for 25
cents, and rasps which are coming in
at three boxes for a quarter. Red
currants nearly gone bring 10 cents
a box. Loganberries at three boxes for
26 cents looked very inviting, as did
wild blackberries at 20 cents a pound.
Gooseberries, four pounds for 25 cents;
a limited supply of California apples at
10 cents a pound; bananas (good) at 10
cents a dozen; Florida grapefruit, 15
cents each: oranges, 40, 50 and 60 cents
a dozen: lemons, 40 to 50 cents; canta
loupes, three for 25 cents, and the ad
vance guard of watermelons at 4 cents
a pound, seemed to complete the selec
tion of fruit. "
Among vegetables, new potatoes from
California at seven pounds for 25 cents
were in vigorous, abundant evidence.
The prospect is for an enormous crop,
thanks to the abundant moisture.
Yams (sweet potatoes) at four pounds
for n quarter; string beans wax and
green two pounds for 25 cents; Sum
mer- squash at 10 cents a pound; green
peas (nice), three pounds for a quar.
ter; Texas tomatoes, 15 cents a pound;
California green pappers, '30c a pound;
cucumbers, large, at 10 cents each, aug
mented by a supply of the Oregon prod
uct, at 15 cents a dozen; eggplant, 2a
cents a pound; artichokes, 10 cents
each. Oregon-grown at 40" cents a
dozen; lettuce, 5 cents a head; celery;
15 cents a - stalk; asparagus, two
bunches for 25 cents, and the usual
humble but helpful supply of carrots,
turnips, beets, etc., made a very good
selection for the housekeeper and cook.
Although July does lack the letter
"r" In its spelling and consequently
is not rated a "fish" month, there was
quite a good variety to be had. Black
bass led the list In -price at 40 cents a
pound; salmon, 20 cents; black cod and
halibut, 15 cents; lin cod, 12hi cents,
and shad at 10 cents a pound, were sup
plemented by shad roe at 20 cents .and
halibut cheeks at 15 cents a pound.
Some crabs and shrimps were also in
evidence at 25 cents each and 25. cents
a pound, respectively.
The prices of butcher meat were
much the same as last week. Steak
was quoted at 20, 30 and 35 cents a
pound.
The supply of poultry seemed limited.
Hens, 30 cents a pound; ducks, (1.25
each. Butter, 30 cents a pound, 60 cents
a roll. Eggs were quoted at 30 cents
a dozen, and reported "scarce and going
up."
SALOOIlEfl WILL FIGHT
LICEXSE TRANSFER PROBLEM
CAUSES COMPLAIT.
Proprietors Say They Do Xot Oppose
Revocation for Violation of Law
but Point to Losses.
Saloon proprietors are up in arms
over the announcement by- Mayor Al
bee that it will be the policy of his
administration to refuse the granting
of saloon license transfers excepting in
a case where the transfer is to enable
a change in the location of the saloon
without a change in ownership. They
declare that such a policy will work
an extreme financial hardship on many
persons now In the business by making
it impossible for them to sell out or for
their heirs to conduct the business.
Plans are being made by the saloon
interests to fight the ordinance which
the Mayor is preparing, provldin
against the transfers. It is said that
if they fail to defeat it before the City
Commission they will take it into th
courts.
The principal objection is made on
the basis that it will remove the value
from . saloon property. Without a 11
cense, it is said, the fixtures would be
practically worthless unless they could
be shipped to some other city for sale-
It Is said that the present holders
of licenses have paid large sums for
the licenses, securing them by trans
fer. Under the model liquor law th
number of saloons in the city is -limited
to one ror every 1000 population. By
an arrangement between the city and
tne liquor interests the number of sa
loons existing at the. time the law was
enacted was allowed to stand at 418,
The policy of not permitting transfers
of licenses, it was figured, would grad
ually decrease the number of saloons
until the limit of one for every 1000
population would be reached. -
Instead of refusing the transfers the
City Council granted them freely, so
that the licenses Immediately became
valuable and the market price advanced
to ?25Q0 for a license.
No objection is made by saloonme
generally to the plan of the Mayor to
be strict in the revocation of licenses
when the. holder violates the liauor
laws and no objection is made to the
plan or refusing transfers to saloons
for undesirable places or to places
wnere residents object. They declare,
however, that it is unfair to deny a
saloon owner the right to make a legit
imate sale of his business in case of
financial stringency or a desire to die
continue business. They object also to
the plan of making it impossible for
heirs of a saloon owner to continue the
business or transfer the license so that
the fixtures and investment in the
business is not lost.

LONDON". July 4. Evidences that ser
ious fighting is occurring in Macedonia
Is f.ound in the arrival ot large num
bers of wounded and prisoners at tho
various Balkans capitals, but owing to
the silence at Sofia and conflicting and
probably biased stories from Servian
and Oreek sources, it is next to im
possible to form any accurate idea of
the progress of the struggle.
Premier "Venizelos announced fn the
Greek parliament today that the Oreek
forces had won a victory at Ivilklsh
and captured 60 guns.
This appears, to have been gained
by the amazing swiftness of the Greek
advance from Saloniki, which, accord
Ing to correspondents, surprised the
Bulgarians.
King Gonstantine of Greece tele
graphed personally today to the Greek
Minister here, confirming - the report
ot the massacre of Greek soldiers by
Bulgarians in Macedonia and the ex
termination under the most horrible
circumstances of tho Greek popula
tions in the villages through which the
Bulgarians retreated.
News comes from Saloniki that since
their victory over the Bulgarians at
Kilklsh. the Greek troops have been
successful in several smaller engage
ments in which the fighting was se
vere. They are driving the Bulgarians
before them toward the north and the
east. During the fighting which re
sulted in the occupation of Ghevghell
by the Greeks the Bulgarians became
panic-stricken and hundreds of them
Jumped into the River Vardar and were
drowned.
The railroad between Ghevgheli and
